Time to Trim the Palms

 

The palm trees at the building next door to me were looking a bit shaggy lately and sure enough, the tree trimming people arrived last week to clean them up.


It's always entertaining to watch these guys swing from tree to tree.

The team on the ground pick up all the fallen fronds and debris and feed them through the giant shredder.


The trees look so bare when they are all done but it won't take them long to fill out again.

  4. That's quite a job. I wonder what they did back in the days before modern safety harnesses and climbing gear? Maybe people just didn't prune their palm trees back then.

  5. It's interesting watching these guys work. Climbing a tree to trim with a chainsaw is not something I would like to do.
